Perfumer: Michèle Saramito
A new addition to Bloom’s portfolio, an elegant cologne with sweet sun kissed citruses, honeyed neroli and amber background.
With classic formulas it’s the quality of the ingredients that matters. Marie Jeanne might be a new perfume house, but it’s founded by a young perfumer from a family connected to Robertet for several generations.
Robertet is a bit like De Beers of the fine natural perfume materials - matières premières, for decades they have been dealing with the finest, purest and most precious stuff a perfumer can dream of.
This is Marcelle, a classic elegant cologne but with highly likely the best bergamot from Italy, grapefruit from Spain, neroli from Tunisia and petigrain from Paraguay among other notes in the formula.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
Marcelle suits a close, sunlit setting where freshness needs to feel composed rather than sporty: a crisp shirt, warm skin, and the quiet confidence of someone who prefers clarity over noise. It reads as clean, polished and intimate, with a gentle trail rather than a loud announcement.
How to wear
Best in spring and early summer, when its citrus top notes can stay vivid without collapsing in heat. Apply lightly, two to four sprays, to let the bergamot and mandarin stay bright while the neroli, jasmine and amber settle into a soft, airy skin scent.
Who it’s for
For those who like classic cologne structure, natural-smelling citrus, and a refined floral heart with a soft woody-amber finish. It will appeal to wearers who prefer understated elegance, ingredient clarity and a fragrance that feels polished rather than decorative.

Collaborators
Georges Maubert shaped the house’s creative direction and conceived Marcelle as a tribute to his grandmother, guiding the fragrance’s nostalgic, citrus-floral brief. The formula was developed within Robertet’s perfumery circle, where the emphasis on exceptional raw materials clearly informed the composition.
Marie Jeanne’s story
Marie Jeanne is a Grasse-based niche house built around natural materials, restrained composition and ingredient quality. Its style is lucid rather than ornate, with an emphasis on the character of the raw materials and the craftsmanship behind them.
Marcelle’s concept
Marcelle was created as a modern homage to Georges Maubert’s grandmother, translating a family memory into a polished citrus cologne. The scent leans into a classic structure, but its appeal comes from the quality of the materials and the way the florals and amber soften the bright opening.
Extra info
Marcelle is named for Georges Maubert’s grandmother, and the fragrance was conceived as a tribute to her taste for citrus and flowers. It is part of Marie Jeanne’s move from candles into fragrance, and it is often described as a modernized take on the traditional eau de cologne.
